His father, also named Brick Pomeroy Storts, a well known pediatrician who moved here from Missouri with his wife, Gladys. Storts said his dad initially was hired as a doctor for the mines in Ajo. But rural living west of Tucson was not what Gladys Storts had in mind. “Gladys lasted about two weeks in Ajo,” he said.

Storts jokes about what his father’s patients must have thought sitting in chairs with the name of a funeral home on it as they waited for their appointment. ...
